in /etc/udev.conf, there should be a configuration entry telling you which =
=20
is the rules file. if it's a directory, then any file named *.rules in that=
 =20
directory will be read as a rules file (so it would be a good idea in that =
=20
case to create something like /etc/udev/local.rules and add your own rules =
=20
there)

You will probably want something like KERNEL=3D"ttyUSB1", PROGRAM=3D"/bin/s=
u =20
jjstickel -c \"/usr/bin/jpilot-sync\""

but I don't know for sure that the system would wait to run this rule until=
 =20
after it had created the device file. You might consider instead running =
=20
jpilot-sync as a daemon with the -l option to keep it in a loop.
